Proof that Comey carries the GrOPer's water [View all]

https://thinkprogress.org/comey-misled-everybody-about-clintons-emails-again-9e4310bbf3cb

(snip)

Apparently, that story wasn’t accurate. FBI officials privately confirmed to ProPublica that Comey’s account of Abedin’s actions just doesn’t hold water. In reality, Abedin only forwarded a few emails, not “hundreds and thousands” as Comey claimed. Also, none of the messages she sent were marked as classified at the time they were sent. The FBI suspects other emails appeared on Weiner’s computer as a result of Abedin’s Blackberry backups. It’s unclear if any of the 12 classified emails Comey said they found there had actually been among the handful she forwarded.

The FBI originally planned to send a letter to Congress this week correcting Comey’s version of events, but that plan is apparently still on hold. In the meantime, congressional Republicans have still been using Comey’s story to further litigate Clinton’s emails. During a hearing on Monday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) asked former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper how he’d react if an employee had sent “hundreds or even thousands” of emails to their spouse, obviously referencing Comey’s testimony.

This is only the latest example of Comey exaggerating, misrepresenting, or otherwise distorting the details of the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s emails.

emphasis mine

remember, Comey wrote a letter to Congress about the email investigation, which jasoninthehouse promptly put into the reich wing propaganda machine otherwise known as the media.

Did he write the letter at the request of the GrOPers?

Donnie blew kisses to Comey across the room for a reason.
